Elon Musk Wants Full Custody Of Son With Ashley St. Clair After She Publicly Apologizes For Her Transphobic Remarks
Now that St. Clair is advocating for those she previously hurt, Musk has finally admitted he fathered her child and is concerned St. Clair “might transition a one-year-old boy.”

Just last year, Elon Musk said on X that he “didn’t know” whether he was the father of Ashley St. Clair’s baby. It appears that he’s found clarity. Now that St. Clair has publicly apologized for statements that have caused pain to the trans community, Musk is not only staking out parentage, but has posted intent to gain full custody, falsely citing St. Clair’s “statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.”
It started with a post. St. Clair, a right-wing influencer, responded to an accusation on X that she was a transphobe. “I feel immense guilt for my role,” she wrote, and “even more guilt” for past statements that “may have caused my son’s sister more pain.” St. Clair, who wrote that she wants to make amends, was referring to Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Wilson, who came out as trans in 2020. Musk has described Vivian, his eldest offspring, as “dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”
For her part, Vivian Wilson has declared her biological father “a pathetic man-child,” and severed all ties.

St. Clair revealed last February that she had a child with Musk, five months prior to the announcement. She claimed she had waited to share the news out of concerns about “tabloid media.” One month later, Laura Loomer screamed “gold digger” prompting Musk to voice uncertainty about his paternity and to say that even so, he had given the mother of his baby-maybe-not-baby millions of dollars. The baby is the 13th child Musk is known to have sired.
St. Clair, formerly a ‘Brand Ambassador’ for Turning Point USA (they dumped her), has a long history of anti-trans rhetoric. She cemented her reputation in 2021, after authoring a children’s book, Elephants Are Not Birds. Described in the synopsis as “a Christian, Conservative children’s book that tackles the topic of identity,” the story follows a boy “as he learns that even though he can sing, he is not a bird, even if Culture insists that he is.”
On Wednesday, Jan. 13, Brave Books announced it would remove St. Clair’s name from all future prints of her book, saying she no longer “aligns” with the book’s message and Brave Books’ mission to “affirm timeless, Biblical truths.”

Meanwhile, St. Clair might well see Musk in court on other matters. She has alleged that Musk-owned AI chatbot Grok, generated sexual deepfake images of her. On Jan. 14, following an abundance of complaints focused on Grok’s nudifying of women and children, the state of California announced that it would launch an investigation into whether xAI (which owns the platform X), violated state law.
